Viscount Systems, a leading-edge supplier of security systems and software, this morning announced that it has received an initial order for its Freedom access control solution from an international manufacturer and supplier of industrial solutions.

According to the press release, this contract could potentially lead to securing a total of 65 facilities owned or managed by this client. The systems to be installed will include Freedom access control running on Viscount’s patent-pending Microsoft Active Directory platform. Microsoft’s virtualization platform that makes it easier for businesses to virtualize existing server hardware assets and move them to the cloud.

“This project demonstrates our ability to use the cloud to continue to change the way buildings are secured and managed,” stated Stephen Pineau, CEO of Viscount. “Freedom’s capability to run physical security as a native Microsoft Active Directory application or run on a Hyper-V host is a tremendous advantage for us, as end-users continue to migrate physical security systems onto the enterprise network and the Cloud. The technological advantages of Freedom combined with its cost advantages will continue to drive our growth through 2013.”
